A much cheaper simpler process, is to simply buy model master paint at Hobbytown USA, via chrome paint, amazing product....

I did a youtube Bioman review a year or so back, where I had to custom make a horn as he had a chip in one. Cut from the interior screw section of a similar yellow colored flashlight, then glued with cement an painted again, and it looked just about identical to the other horn. His sword an shield where looking rough, so I re-chromed the sword an outer shield, and they both look fantastic, and I also painted the sword hilt flat black. I sold that piece, an wish I never had, as it has real personality an the rest of the robot was in solid shape....

Now, would not be as nice as that chrome work, but better option perhaps for certain pieces when money is an issue, esp when the process exceeds the piece. Your piece is one of a kind now however, an that is never a bad thing....

You may say paint strokes are not the same, but get a cheap 20 dollar spray gun and little replaceable air tank to power it, and you can produce amazing items....

The big diff, is you are taking plastic an basically converting it into metal, way to cool. Where I would just be making plastic appear chrome, or even chrome metal to look refurbished. May not be 100% original, but an ugly faded out chrome area, be it plastic or die-cast, getting a face lift so to speak is not always a bad thing IMO. Just making it look good for many future generations to enjoy. If the piece is taken care of from here on out, as most now are smart enough to treat this pieces like a baby, as a fragile vintage item should be kept an protected....

Again to each their own and I know this may bother some as they want 100% original, and I do always list the minor repairs when selling, so as the buyer knows exactly what they are getting, and if they are not comfortable with the piece no longer being 100% original or customized in any way, then they simply need not bid or buy it.....

Thanks for your attention. I totally agree with you that I need to let my buyers know which parts are repaired. That's why I always post the "before" & "after" photos.
